Backpacking
View from the top
Went on a 4 day backpacking trip with eleven kids from the YMCA of San Francisco , sponsored by the Tahoe Rim Trail Association High point of the trip, peak bagging Freel Peak at 10,881ft. The view from the top was amazing!
Backpacking
Heading out for another backpacking trip in the Tahoe Basin today. Here are some shots from last month’s trip around Tahoe 🙂 Stayed at Round Lake a couple of nights. It’s an easy hike that meanders through a large meadow and ends at an alpine lake. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets and so many stars that you fall asleep if you try to count them the all. All made better with great company. Got to get out more 🙂
Final Look at Mt. Tallac
It was our final day of backpacking and this was Mt. Tallac from the ridge trail above Fallen Leaf Lake.
Hello, down there…
To give you an idea of the trail we came down. I’m above on a switch back taking photos while my sister hikes ahead of me.
Lean Left
When you head straight down on a slope like this one, you want to lean left the mountain.
Steep
From the meadow, the trail leads to this steep grade. It’s mostly granite scree and out in the open. It was a little intimidating at first.
Trailmarker
Coming down Mt. Tallac there was this nice new trailermarker pointing the way.
Back of Tallac
The 4 day backpacking trip was coming to a close. This was a look at the back of Mt. Tallac as we headed down the trail.
Beautiful Vistas
Just below Mt. Tallac there was this high meadow that had this incredible view. The mountains in this area are made up from a variety of colors.
